"God --
it's a wonderful idea.
It's a nice fantasy.
It's a way of keeping people in line.
It's a way of controlling people.
There is as much proof of the existence of God --
or even evidence, forget proof.
There's as much evidence for the existence of God as
there is for the existence for UFSs and extraterrestrials.
And yet, if you mention them for a moment, you're
considered outside, beyond the pale, you're a kook,
you're marginalized, you're crazy.
If you mention --
if you don't love God, then you're --
there's something wrong with you."
